Thanks folks
The BIOSTAR board looks nice. Pity the price is $30+ higher than the MSI and the ASRock boards.
And I would be concerned about heat and the mobo able to deliver power with 4 gpus side-by-side like Phils pic is showing Tongue

Don't even bother doing that if you are not living at a place with extreme cold.

It worked all summer long in a 95f garage

I have three at the moment.

But you need to understand that overclocking is for fools.

A proper Zec rig can do 500H at 400 watts a piece of cake for that mobo.

I know this because I do it.

also that board can run at 92-96 MH for ETH PULLING AROUND 580 WATTS been there done that. All summer long.

While 95f is not crazy hot it is hot.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a miner going with at least 4 gpus on a Z170 motherboard?
With Black Friday coming I might get one if I hear it can be used with at least 4 gpus.

I am thinking about the MSI Z170-A Pro in particular, which seems like a good deal - now $90 only at newegg.

Hello
i have the same problem with the MSI Z170-A Pro work fine with 4 GPU But when i add more than 4

Yup, it's all good for 4 GPU's, even for 5 GPU's, I can confirm that. Just make sure that you get the x1 to x16 USB risers as well.
